Backbase vs acquired platform: what's the best choice for your bank?

Out of the box used to mean speed. Now it means limits.

by Backbase

Introduction

Over the past few years one digital banking platform’s story stands out.  It’s changed hands, names, and direction. About a year ago, it was spun out of a legacy provider, acquired by a private equity firm, and given a new name. Beneath the rebrand lies the same foundational problem: too much flux, too little focus.

The “Acquired Platform” positions itself as turnkey and fast-to-deploy, ideal for financial institutions looking to move quickly. And while it delivers on speed, it does so through a templated approach, leaving banks and credit unions boxed in with tight dependencies on vendor roadmaps and limited UX flexibility. 

What to look for in a digital banking partner

Too often, digital banking decisions are made based on shiny demos and fast implementations. But what matters more, especially for long-term transformation is the architecture, control, and partnership model underneath.

Banks need partners that offer:

  • Stability & vision 

  • Control over UX & journeys 

  • Composable architecture 

  • Embedded AI & data intelligence 

  • Global scalability & compliance support 

  • Ecosystem partnerships & extensibility
